...in which I strap on my new ultra-telephoto and take it into the wilderness aka the local zoo, to check out whether this lens offers the best compromise in cost, size, weight, and image quality for Nikon Z wildlife photography or if it is just too dark, too heavy, and too clumsy to be useful in the real world. No sponsorship, no affiliate links, no relationship at all to any camera company - just one more half-formed and unsolicited opinion shouting into the echoing halls of YouTube.
